• Max timber width - 300mm
• Min timber thickness - 13mm
• Max timber thickness - 25mm
Parts needed -
• Template B (half blind / sliding)
• 13.55mm Dovetail cutter
• ¾” (19mm) Guide bush
Both parts of this joint are cut at the same time,
(single pass)
1)
Attach comb B (half blind / sliding) with the straight
fingers at the front of the jig, see fig 01-02. Use the
horizontal board to be cut to level the comb, see fig 03.
A support board with equal thickness to the cut board
may be required to support the comb when using
narrow boards, see fig 03.
2)
Before loading in the opposing vertical board use the
cutter set line mark on the right of the comb & a sharp
pencil to mark a line at the top of the board, see fig 04.
3)
Load in vertically the first board on the left of the jig
pushing up to the underside of the comb & centralising
to the fingers, see fig 05. Slide the side stop towards the
right to make contact with the side of the material, see
fig 06 & lock in place.
4)
Slide the horizontal board forward to meet the
vertical board and slide to the left to make contact with
the side stop, see fig 07. Then undo the comb lock knobs
& use the comb adjuster knobs to ensure that the finger
line on the comb is in line with the point where both
boards meet, see fig 08-09. Double check that the comb
is sat flat on top of the horizontal board & ensure that
both boards are level, see fig 10.
